Diamond Speed Sights

[eliska]

I have read a bit lately about the best width for front sights. Just when I thought I was "getting the picture," I saw Diamond Speed Sights. (For those unfamiliar, instead of front and rear dots, they use diamond shapes. Sight picture = line up the points of the 2 diamonds side-by-side-by side). I have to say, just based on the photos, they look really easy and quick to align. Anyone tried these?

These?

A new gimmick sight comes along every 6 months or so. Soliders, cops, and champion shooters have not veered from notch-and-post when it comes to shooting iron-sight-pistols for 100 years.

IMO, there is a reason why.

Those things would kill your score on distant partial targets.

Those are the ones.

What is a "distant partial target" and why would they be a problem?

Thanks!

What is a "distant partial target"

Tough shots.

...and why would they be a problem?

Those sights don't appear to convey good information back to the shooter.

I have a pair and like them. He has a 30 day money back guarantee so you have nothing to lose.

My son has a set on his carry glock and loves them. He doesn't shoot a lot but feels these are great for fast target acquisition. I haven't shot it yet but I did dryfire and they appear to be fairly efficient by appearances
